PSG striker Usman Dembele, one of the main contenders to win this year's "Golden Ball," has revealed the reason for his productive performance.
Idman.biz reports that the 28-year-old French footballer scored 33 goals and made 15 productive assists in 49 games in club football in the 2024/25 season.
In an interview with "France Football," he said that the "number nine" (central striker) and the right-wing striker do not have the same function: "When you are in front of the goal as a "number nine," you get less tired, you are on the penalty area line. In addition, when I touch the ball, I have to pass one or two defenders before passing or scoring. However, when playing in the right-wing striker position, there are players in the front line next to him, such as a striker, left defender, midfielder, central defender... you are in front of the goal and pass to them.
From the beginning of the season, I start every game by telling myself that I will score three goals. Then, when I score one or two goals, I consider it a good result."
